I get good German tools at Samstag Sales, they have a website and also
sell stuff on eBay, sometimes for a pretty good discount. Standard
disclaimer: I am in no way associated with Samstag Sales. The CV joint
tools is called an XZN or "triple square", it's over halfway down the
page here: http://www.samstagsales.com/hazet.htm

Kinda pricey, I know, but Hazet is considered by many to be one of the
very best tool manufacturers in the world. I buy this kind of stuff
because I live in a remote area and if my cheap tools break, I'm stuck
for several days in the middle of a project because the nearest Sears
is 185 miles away. So I try and get the good stuff. I recently bought
a set of deep offset box wrenches from these guys from Stahlwille,
which I've been told is Germany's #3 brand, but way better (IMHO) than
what's available in the US. All I can tell you is, if it was my
birthday and someone bought me some nice Stahlwille, Hazet, or Gedore
tools, I'd be in seventh heaven!
